Biography
Dane Rose formed his landscape company at age seventeen, starting with maintenance and smaller projects that gave him an appreciation for low-maintenance practical designs. After being taught horticulture at Waldorf Schools in New York and England, he continued his landscape education by hiring some of the best contractors in the field to train him in areas of heavy equipment, masonry, carpentry, irrigation and drainage. This personal experience doing all aspects of the work supports Dane in being an efficient and competent manager and Designer.Dane's unique design process is a partnership with clients, helping them articulate their values and preferences and then showing them practical and beautiful ways of expressing them on their land. He has re-invented his way of designing and installing several times to support excellent communication and minimized stress for clients in what is always an exciting and at times chaotic process of giving birth to a vision. To support clients building new homes, Dane developed a service that integrates landscaping with the building or remodel process. To prepare for this work, he got his general contractor license and designed and built two custom homes. His first custom home and landscape synergy was completed early and within $300.00 of the original budget. It sold quickly for full price above appraised value in a sluggish Real Estate market. Some of Dane's personal passions include kite-surfing, hang-gliding, Snorkeling, visiting Thailand and the science of happiness and well-being. "Thank you, Dane, for the best design I could have ever wished for!"
